Those looking at the list of EB-5 Regional Center programs a few years ago were limited to 10 or so options whereas today the number of approved Regional Centers exceeds 150 and continues to grow as if on steroids!

It was certainly a less complex job to select the most appropriate option from 10, rather than 150, particularly as all is not as it seems at first sight.

Many of the 150 plus Regional Centers are currently not offering programs, others have no measurable statistics to draw comparisons on and others have not yet developed a critical mass of applicants, therefore requiring careful review when considering projects.

The amount of information available on the EB-5 has also grown, but much of this information is marketing and sales based. The information often fails to provide prospective applicants with an independent perspective and does not point out the negative aspects, as well as the positive issues.

Every day we read through a mass of information released by a variety of sources on the EB5 that may be of interest if you are considering the various Regional Center programs. Among the most interesting is the progress or otherwise of the Programs set up in the earlier days, have they repaid clients? What is there I-829 record? (Removal of conditions), have there been complaints? Etc.
